I t h i n k h e w i l l f l o u r i s h t h i s y e a r @Tim... Can we find a way to "pin" posts? This one ought to be a treat to revisit.
Yanda is 34 years old and finished the last two seasons on injured reserve. Siragusa and Brown have never played a snap in the NFL. And then this offseason they lost two 16 game starters at Center and Right Tackle.

Again reading comprehension 101 all I said was he was starting before the injury...nothing more nothing less
Definition 101... Starting, means to start at that time. You can't start if there isn't a game and to practice is not starting.
You talk about other's reading comprehension...He wasn't talking about a player named Brown... He was making light of your comments about the BROWN'S rookies not improving the Browns roster, then you turn around and use the Ravens rookies as your "proof" they are improving... What have the Ravens done to have you stating they have improved? Mind you I am not stating they haven't improved, I would just like to understand YOUR thoughts on why they have. For the record, first you state the Ravens offensive line has improved...then someone asks how...you state they lost Siragusa and Yanda, but picked up Brown ( a rookie)...THEN state they don't need to count on Brown as he is the 6th OL...Which is it? He improved their line or he isn't to be counted on?
Yanda was one of the top guards in football...he’s back, Siragusa must have impressed enough to be starting early in camp and Brown was projected to be a 1st round pick who slid and can be a swing OT for injury purposes...IMO that’s improving the OL getting 2 projected starters back and Yanda being one of the best at his position
How impressed could they have been without freaking pads. You can’t judge an olineman before pads are on. He was the only body that they had at the time to play that position. If that is what you mean by impressed, then yes they were impressed.
